Until lately, philosophers did not have anything to contribute to
physics either as far as I can see. It is not their purpose to
contribute to a craft or perhaps even to a science. The
"excellent"
explanations in physics and chemistry merit studying more closely
and doing meta-explanations is perhaps a job that can be done by
philosophers of science. I agree that such work is not welcome in the
scientific trade. Most scientists like hype and detest criticism.

I like to announce a new electronic service, which is, as far as I
know,
a desideratum for many of us with badly equipped libraries. I have
prepared a
JOURNALS CONTENT SERVICE "Science Studies"
of some 70 journals on Science Studies in a broader sense (philosophy,
history and sociology of science, technology and medicine). Table of
content data are automatically provided by a database of our University
Library and are updated every week. Access is free for everybody via
http://www.uni-karlsruhe.de/~philosophie/hyle.html
Suggestions to include further journals of the area are greatly
appreciated and will be considered, if data are available either in our
database or on the WWW. Please forward this announcement to everybody
who might find this service useful.

site currently contains the complete texts of 19 works of major
historical
importance, as well as seven introductions to, and commentaries on,
those
documents. The number texts will expand contunuously as more of them
are
scanned and edited by me and my group. I have copied the current index
